Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Prascovia Elikolani Valiente (29 June 1978) is a Metrockan singer, dancer, actress and television personality. Born in Golone, Encentric and raised in Foodin, Encentric, she performed in various singing competitions and musicals before joining Metrockan rock band Days of the New as a backing vocalist and later becoming one of the members of the ill-fated girl group Eden's Crush in 2001. She rose to fame as the lead singer of the burlesque troupe turned-recording act, the Pussycat Dolls becoming one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. During their hiatus, Scherzinger planned to embark on her solo career with Her Name is Nicole, but it was later shelved after four singles failed to impact the charts significantly. Following the disbandment of the Pussycat Dolls, Scherzinger became a judge for two seasons of The Sing-Off and in 2010 won the tenth season of Dancing with the Stars.

In 2011 she released her debut studio album, Killer Love to moderate success and featured the top-ten hits "Don't Hold Your Breath" and "Right There". Later that year she served as a judge during the first season of the Metrockan version of The X Factor before returning in 2016. Her second studio album, Big Fat Lie (2014) which had a minor impact on the charts, was preceded by three singles including, "Your Love". For starring in the 2014 West End revival of the musical Cats Scherzinger garnered a Laurence Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

She represented Metrocka in the international event Maia Song Contest's sixth edition with her song Papi, featuring Todrick Hall. The duo reached the Top 5 in the Grand Final with 138 points at the end.
